1 SECTION 1 - PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION Trade name : Product code : COMPANY Telephone Emergency Phone: : Tremco Incorporated 3735 Green Road Cleveland, OH : (216) :30-5:00 EST : (216) :30-5:00 EST After Hours: Chemtrec SECTION 2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Emergency Overview Black. Solid. Fumes irritating to the respiratory tract. Vapors from hot material may cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, nose, throat, and mucous membrane irritation. Leave area to breathe fresh air. Avoid further overexposure. If symptoms persist, get medical attention. Acute Potential Health Effects/ Routes of Entry Inhalation : Fumes irritating to the respiratory tract. Vapors from hot material may cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, nose, throat, and mucous membrane irritation. Eyes : Heated material will cause thermal burns. Fumes from heated product may cause tearing, irritation, and redness. Ingestion : May cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, and vomiting. Skin : May cause mild irritation. Hot material will cause burns. May cause sensitization. May cause a rash. Aggravated Medical Conditions Pre-existing eye, skin, liver, kidney, and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure. Chronic Health Effects Contains oxidized asphalt (bitumen). Asphalt fumes can cause eye and respiratory tract irritation and may cause headache, nausea and dizziness. Hot asphalt can cause thermal burns. The IARC has classified occupational exposure to oxidized bitumens and their emissions during roofing as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A). Avoid breathing fumes. Hydrogen sulfide, an extremely flammable, highly toxic gas, is emitted from heated asphalt and may accumulate in storage and bulk transport compartments. At low concentrations hydrogen sulfide is irritating to eyes and throat and at high concentrations can cause rapid unconsciousness and death. The odor of hydrogen sulfide cannot be used as an indicator of concentration of the gas. Always exercise caution when working around closed bulk containers of asphalt. Use ventilation or work upwind from source of fumes or vapors. Prolonged or repeated skin contact with asphalt may result in skin sensitivity, such as irritation, rashes, and dermatitis. Target Organs: Skin, Lung, Eye, Liver SECTION 3 - PRODUCT COMPOSITION Chemical Name CAS-No. Weight % Oxidized asphalt > /

2 SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES Get immediate medical attention for any significant overexposure. Inhalation Eye contact Skin contact Ingestion : Leave area to breathe fresh air. Avoid further overexposure. If symptoms persist, get medical attention. : Flush with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eye lids apart. Get medical attention immediately. : If hot material strikes the skin, immediately drench or immerse the area in water to assist cooling. If available, apply iced water or ice packs to the burned area. (DO NOT use iced water or ice packs if the burned area covers greater than 10% of the body, as this may contribute to shock.) DO NOT try to remove asphalt from a burn after it has cooled. Seek medical attention. Medical personnel can soften and remove cooled asphalt with petroleum jelly. For contact with cold material, clean with a waterless hand cleaner, then wash with mild soap and water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. : Do not induce vomiting unless advised by a physician. Call nearest Poison Control Center or Physician immediately. SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash point : > 500 F, > 260 C Method : Cleveland open cup Lower explosion limit Upper explosion limit Autoignition temperature Extinguishing media : If water fog is ineffective, use carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam. Hazardous combustion products Protective equipment for firefighters : Smoke, fumes.carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide can form.oxides of sulfur can form. : Use accepted fire fighting techniques. Wear full firefighting protective clothing, including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Fire and explosion conditions : Product may ignite if heated in excess of its flash point. SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Use appropriate protective equipment. Avoid contact with material. If hot, stop flow. Contain spill. Keep out of water courses. Allow material to cool. Scrape up and transfer to appropriate container for disposal. SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE Product is heated during processing. Avoid contact with hot material. Wear heat resistant gloves. Do not inhale vapor or fumes. In case of contact with skin or eyes, apply cold water immediately and get medical attention as soon as possible. Do not heat in excess of the flash point. During manufacture, caution must be used to prevent contact with hot material. Prevent inhalation of vapor. Do not use in confined or poorly ventilated areas. Store under normal warehouse conditions. 2/

Follow manufacturer's directions for respirator use. : Use heat resistant gloves and protective apparel for hot material. : Wear appropriate eye protection.wear chemical safety goggles and/or face shield to prevent eye contact. Do not wear contact lenses. Do not touch eyes with contaminated body parts or materials. Have eye washing facilities readily available. : Use a face shield impervious to hot bitumenuse slip resistant shoes impervious to hot bitumen. : Use professional judgment in the selection, care, and use.during torch application, protect hands with heat resistant gloves and use slip resistant shoes impervious to hot bitumen. Protect hands with suitable gloves when handling finished product. : Use general ventilation and/ or local exhaust to reduce the airborne contaminant concentration below the exposure limit listed in the MSDS SECTION 9 - PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Form : Solid Color : Black Odor : Asphalt ph Vapour pressure Vapor density : Heavier than air Melting point/range Freezing point Boiling point/range : 700 F, 371 C Water solubility : Insoluble Specific Gravity : 1.04 % Volatile Weight : 0 % SECTION 10 - REACTIVITY / STABILITY Substances to avoid Stability : Oxidizing agents. : Material is stable under normal storage, handling, and use. 3/
